Re(1): Hormonal BalanceIP: 68.227.22.116Posted on January 23, 2012 at 05:17:05 PM by James

Hi Nickolasa,

One of the most important things you can do are bitters to cleanse the liver. The liver helps to balance the hormones by breaking down excess hormones.

You are right to be scared of progesterone creams. These creams are far from safe and can lead to progesterone dominance, which has many of the same symptoms as estrogen dominance.

The vitex is safer, but it does take at least two months to kick in.

I also like wild yam since it not only has a weak hormonal action, but it also supports the adrenals. The adrenals also produce sex hormones.

Nettle root is an aromatase inhibitor. So it simply blocks the conversion of testosterone in to estrogen. Whether or not this can help would depend on your hormonal status. Unfortunately, the sellers of progesterone creams have muddied the water so much on the subject since they attribute so many progesterone side effects to estrogen. So women have a hard time trying to determine if they are really estrogen dominant or progesterone dominant and if they should or should not increase their testosterone.
